Plaza Midwood Community Radio "Don't Touch That Dial" Free EP - Week 1!
In Charlotte, NC, all the musicians and aging hipsters got together and formed an internet radio station to fill a void in their market. Charlotte, NC, despite being a huge city, has no college radio style station! Their station is non-profit and 100% volunteer run. It relies on donations from the community to stay afloat! So, they came up with a fantastic fundraising idea - release a FREE EP of some of their local bands/musicians once a week for four weeks. At the end of the four weeks, but the whole thing together into one giant comp that people can download in exchange for a small donation to the station.
I know what you are thinking...local musicians? From Charlotte? Well...don't despair. The comp is actually pretty terrific. In coming weeks it will feature well known acts like Benji Hughes and the legendary country/folk musician David Childers.
Here's Week 1 of the Free EPs. It is Free, but if you feel like sending them a dollar or two, it would help them out a lot!

Sacred Bones Records is proud to be celebrating 100 releases by unveiling the lost LP from The Hunt, "The Hunt Begins".
The first ever release on Sacred Bones was a 7" from The Hunt. The band was formed by Jasper McGandy & Christian Kount (both now members of Cult of Youth) in 2007. They crafted a unique style of post-punk influenced by The Southern Death Cult and New Model Army. The artwork for their first release depicted an androgynous wild banshee wearing warpaint, clad all in leather and animal bones, holding a sacrificial knife pointed at the sky. This debut single was The Hunt’s lone statement.

MOONSHOES - If You Want To Do It Video!
Ok. I can't stop smiling and shaking my head at this roller disco video from Moonshoes. Moonshoes is the fantastic creation of French musician Gilles Paulet. Moonshoes' new album is called Boogieland. Rather than trying to explain it, here's how it's described in the promo materials:
A concept album a journey in Blaxploitation ! A Soul/Disco/Pop/Jazz symphony! recorded alone in his own studio by multi-instrumentist Gilles Paulet, a musical Disco monk, a dignified new figure and spokesman of this blue-eyed soul. Bringing the 70s back to life with this music which could be the imaginary original soundtrack theme of a movie. Simply to please those who enjoyed : Earth Wind & Fire, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Jamiroquai, Isaac Hayes, ELO, Jacksons, Chic, Bee Gees, Steely Dan, Quincy Jones...........

My name is Youssef , a 22 year old musician based in Cairo, Egypt. I just released my second record "Yestoday" and I am looking for various means to share it with other beings since Egypt is not really the place to be for indie rockers like myself. I would appreciate it if you can give it a listen.
We would have posted this, even without the explanation! It's pretty good!
